Museum Island may be one of the most visited places in the entire center of Berlin. Next to the Spree river, you can find what has been called Museum Island, a place that brings together some of the most important cultural and historic treasury.

As we have said, if you are passionate about art and are dying to visit Berlin, this is possibly one of the best articles you can read since we will comment on some of the best museums in Berlin that you cannot miss And that you must visit at least once in your life.
The first one is no other than the Pergamon Museum. It is undoubtedly one of the most important places in the city of Berlin since you will be able to observe and stand before the majesty of the Ishtar Gate of Babylon.
Seeing the Ishtar Gate will only be the beginning since, after it, you will be able to enjoy 3 amazing collections where some of the greatest treasures of Ancient Greece are found. The Pergamon Museum is not only an essential site for history lovers, but from our point of view, it is a must-see for everyone.
If you cannot visit it, remember that many art museums offer virtual tours so that you can enjoy some of the best works in the world from your home.
The next place that we want to comment on is the Altes Museum, also known in English as the Old Museum. This is located on one of the most important streets in the center of Berlin, Karl Liebknecht Straße, which crosses Museum Island. The Altes Museum is located next to the Lustgarten fountain and another of the most important historical buildings in Berlin as is Berliner Dom.
Like the Pergamon, the Altes Museum was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco in 1999, and in the oldest museum in Berlin, you can find numerous works of Ancient Greece and paintings of Roman art.
From the oldest one we go to the Neues Museum, that is, to the New Museum. This was practically destroyed during the Second World War and was renovated at the end of the 20th century. In this institution, you can find many works of art from Ancient Egypt and above all, the famous bust of Nefertiti stands out.
If after visiting the cool spots mentioned above you want to continue discovering the great wonders that Berlin hides, you cannot miss the Old National Gallery of Berlin, also known in German as Alte Nationalgalerie.
This is a great example of classical architecture as it is inspired by some of the most important buildings in Greece such as the Acropolis of Athens and therefore has a Roman temple appearance. In addition to its architecture, you can enjoy numerous art collections from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Specifically, you can enjoy artistic works of currents such as Romanticism, Classicism, and impressionism of the First World War.
All those who want to discover the history of the city of Berlin should go to the Jewish Museum of Berlin, a few blocks away from the famous Checkpoint Charlie. This is one of the places that offer one of the most extensive exhibitions and shows the evolution of the country from the Jewish point of view.
